Today i tried to to change over the rear drums on my a2. After 5 hours i claimed defeat. I did not managed to change a complete wheel. So put it back best i could and drove 100 miles home and take it to a garage first thing. #notamechanic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Blimey I love this forum!! So details!! thanks so much!

DIY would be a bit too much for me as I fear I would stuff it up. It's mainly coming away in a corner where I put something too big in the car and pulled it a bit. Like a thread being pulled it's getting worse now left untouched

My headliner is starting to come away on the rear pillars, not terribly but enough to bother me. The quick fix would be to try some fabric adhesive, but I think from reading about the foam, nothing seems to stick and the best thing to do is have it re-done. Any ideas of who to speak to about...

Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I’m very excited for all the plans and projects for 2023 and hopefully make it to a meet up in a car thats a bit more worth showing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck with the project! Ill be doing this early next year. I have the manifolds already and i have a throttle body from a 1.6 megane which i believe fits. Just writing my shopping list for it now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gathering some more informaion and parts to tackle this next year. Looking on ebay at the BCB Ecu’s most of them dont say if they have a pin for it. What can be done to source this? Buying the mechanicals is one thing but car electronics no matter how simple worry me. Sent from my iPhone...

There was no wedge used. It was placed with a sucker. Then he used the suckers to compress at the top and seal at the top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is very cool!!!! Great write up. Ive got most of the parts for this so will see if a spare pair of knowledgeable hands want to embark on this kind of work with me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah i did start with them both sides at first. it all looked i just hope it sorts it otherwise ill have to start digging deeper. I watched the bloke so it and he said it all looked fine when it was taken off. But there was no question there was water getting in from somewhere as the foam...

Just had autoglass bloke come refit the screen. Same one as before. He checked it. Said there was nothing wrong but put a thicker than normal bead of sealant around it. Hopefully it should be ok. It was wet bottom corner so but some sand bags and left it to cure. Could the broken scuttle be...

Thanks for the offer but it was just a bit too much effort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK so Autoglass are assessing the A2 on tuesday, I'm hoping that they are going to reinstall the windscreen. with that being said do you think I should preempt this visit and get 2 x 20kg bags of sand and weight them at the bottom corners of the screen after it's been reinstalled? is there...

It’s been replaced back august 2021 but I’ve never noticed the water until now. My cars interior has been battered over the last couple of years so I’m thinking I need to get a lot of the parts replaced. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I shall check the pipes. And vents. If it is a badly fitted windscreen how can this be confirmed? And what’s the normal process for auto glass sealing these units do you think? Last thing I want is for this to get done and paid for and then it’s still leaking. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone...

Hi folks. Ive just Ben drying out the floor in the passenger side. That foam was soaked!! I’ve noticed that the water is coming mainly from the A pillar area but slightly from around the centre console area. I’m hoping that it’s not a badly fitted windscreen. Is there any blockages I can...

I’ve been hunting for some roof bars and might have some but they are in Newcastle area. Is anyone around that that that’s coming back south east. London /kent? Might kindly be able to collect them on their travels. I know it’s an ask. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi there, Right so the 1195 is definitely the way to go... I might be able to get some fabricated. is there anyone out there that has a kit? AND more importantly is there any interest in having a kit if I can get them made? I should think that with a few people ordering them it might make the...

Hi there. Ive got some Thule roof bars which I’d like to use as I’ve got a bunch of stuff that needs recycling. I’m sure they can be made to fit but just not sure what brackets to make them fit. I’ve read that they will fit. But also been told it’s not possible. Any help to make them fit...

I’ve recently noticed that it sounds like my car has some crickets under to bonnet. I’m pretty sure it’s the timing belt. I ha it replaced about 4 years ago when I bought him but I’ve done a few miles now. Just wondering if it’s a big job to sort it via adjustment and if it’s an expensive...
